A light ray of frequency v and wavelength `lambda` enters a liquid of refractive index `3//2`. The ray travels in the liquid with

A

frequency v and wavelength `((2)/(3)) lambda`

B

frequency v and wavelength `((3)/(2)) lambda`

C

frequency v and wavelength ` lambda`

D

frequency `((3)/(2))` v and wavelength `lambda`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

`mu = ( c )/(v) = (v lambda)/(v lambda ')`
`(3)/(2) = (lambda)/(lambda ')` 0r `lambda ' = (2 lambda)/(3)`
Note that the frequency remains unchanged.
